JUNIOR ROAD SAFETY OFFICERS
Junior Road Safety Officers (JRSOs)
JRSOs are a very important part of our school. They are volunteers from Year 5 and Year 6 who apply for the position to help raise road safety awareness and promote road safety issues to everyone in the school and the wider community.
What do the JRSOs do?
Here are just some of the responsibilities and activities our JRSOs get involved with:
· Lead assemblies on road safety topics
· Maintain a JRSO Road Safety Notice Board
· Run competitions in the school and organise prizes for the winners
· Get involved in organising safe and active travel activities, ie Walk to School Week
· Maintain a JRSO scrapbook to provide evidence of the topics covered
Who are the JRSO’s this year?
Tyler - Year 6
Charlie - Year 6
Ben - Year 5
Ellie - Year 5
In July 2025 our JRSOs were awarded a GOLD certificate for all the hard work undertaken during 2024/25. They attended the annual Awards Ceremony, accompanied by Mrs Gerry and Mrs Lewis.
During the year, the JRSOs worked hard to promote road safety awareness across the whole-school community. They led assemblies, wrote and performed a rap, submitted monthly articles for the Parish magazine, delivered road-safety training to our Reception children, met with our County Councillor and a member of the Highways department and held several road-safety competitions. They collated their work in a scrapbook which was submitted as evidence. At the Awards Ceremony, the children sat with JRSOs from other schools in the council chambers. They were invited to submit 3 questions to local Councillors, more than any other school!
Congratulations to Ben, Charlie, Ellie and Tyler. We are extremely proud of them all!
